The Soul Eater manga and anime series features an extensive cast of fictional characters created by Atsushi Ōkubo. It is set in a fictional universe inhabited by various characters capable of using supernatural powers by channeling the wavelengths of their souls. Most of the characters in the series, including the main protagonists, are classified into two groups: humans who are born with the power to turn into weapons, called demon weapons, and the wielders of these weapons, called meisters. The main protagonists attend a school called Death Weapon Meister Academy—DWMA for short—located in the fictional Death City in Nevada, United States. DWMA is run by Lord Death, the Grim Reaper, as a training facility for weapons and meisters to hone their powers, as well as an organization to preserve world order against anyone who threatens it, including witches, monsters and evil demon gods called kishin.
The main Soul Eater manga and its anime adaptation follow three meister/weapon partnerships—Maka Albarn and her scythe Soul Eater; Black Star and his shadow weapon Tsubaki Nakatsukasa; and Death the Kid and his twin pistols, Liz and Patty Thompson—who act as field agents for their school and reap the souls of evil humans to prevent them from turning into kishin. The spin-off prequel manga titled Soul Eater Not!, also created by Ōkubo, follows the everyday lives of three other DWMA students—halberd Tsugumi Harudori and her two meister friends, Meme Tatane and Anya Hepburn.
Black Butler (Japanese: 黒執事, Hepburn: Kuroshitsuji) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yana Toboso. Since its debut on September 16, 2006, it has been serialized in Square Enix's shōnen manga magazine Monthly GFantasy.
The series follows Ciel Phantomhive, the thirteen-year-old (as of chapter 14) head of the Phantomhive family, an aristocratic family known as the Queen's Watchdog, and tasked with solving crimes in London's underworld. Ciel has formed a contract with Sebastian Michaelis, a demon who has taken on the disguise of Ciel's butler, to seek revenge against those who killed his parents and resulted in him being kidnapped and tortured. In exchange for Sebastian's service, he will be allowed to consume Ciel's soul. The series has been licensed by Yen Press in North America and published in Yen Plus' August 2009 issue for the magazine's first anniversary.
A 24-episode anime adaption, directed by Toshiya Shinohara and produced by A-1 Pictures, aired from October 2008 to March 2009. The second season, Kuroshitsuji II, aired in 2010 spanning 18 episodes with two new main characters, Alois Trancy and Claude Faustus, following the aftermath of the first season. This series was the anime's own adaptation and did not feature in the manga. A live action film adaptation was released in Japan on January 18, 2014. A third anime series, titled Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus, was broadcast between July 10 and September 12, 2014. A two-part theatrical OVA titled Kuroshitsuji: Book of Murder screened in Japanese theaters on October 25, and November 15, 2014. On October 10, 2015, it was announced on the Black Butler official Twitter account that an animated film for the series has been green-lit and that the original anime cast will return to reprise their roles.

I love the way John Swasey delivered his line in the video. I've yet to hear John deliver a line in such a manner since being under the direction of Steven Foster. Which goes to show that Foster's voice direction was fantastic in the first part of Guin Saga.

Cool Forgotten Weapons Merch! http://shop.bbtv.com/collections/forgotten-weapons The Pancor Jackhammer was a select-fire combat shotgun designed by John Andersen in the 1980s. He was a Korean War veteran who had used a pump shotgun in combat, and while he liked the shotgun concept, he felt there must be a more efficient way to make a shotgun than a single-loading pump action. The tinkered with ideas and designs, and ultimately devised the Jackhammer. It is a remarkably clever and interesting mechanism, combining mechanical elements from the Mannlicher 1894, 1895 Nagant revolver, and the Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver. After making several dozen mockups out of wood and clay to get the mechanics just right, Andersen built a fully functional prototype, which is the gun you see here. It u...

j'en ai assez du temps qui passe vite
et de l'amour qui file entre mes doigts
parc'qu'en mon c?ur tout se trouble et s'agite
lorsque je sens qu'on se moque de moi
j'en ai assez qu'on me tienne les rennes
pour me conduire ? travers les chemins
tout doucement on me met une cha?ne
bien enroul?e autour de mes deux poings
j'ai besoin d'air il faut que je respire
pour retrouver ma force et ma gaiet?
j'en assez de pousser des soupirs
et passer ma vie ? la regretter
j'en ai assez de ces images vides
ou l'on ne nous donne rien ? penser
je ne s'rai jamais cet esclave docile
a qui l'on cache toujours la v?rit?
j'en ai assez d'?tre une marchandise
et qu'on me dise ce que je dois porter
je suis un homme et c'est moi qui d?cide
je ne me laisserai pas influencer
il me faudra du c?ur et du courage
pour tout quitter, mon bien et mes amis
et refuser ce bonheur qui m'outrage
o? je ne fais ce que l'on me dit
j'en ai assez de toutes ces machines
est-ce qu'elles voudraient remplacer l'humanit?
et si jamais on les mettait en ruine
est-ce qu'elles nous emp?cheraient de r?ver ?
j'en ai assez, quand tu dis que tu m'aimes
est-ce que l'amour c'est d'?tre prisonnier
si je m'en vais c'est bien parce que je t'aime
car en t'aimant je perds ma libert?
je partirai sans espoirs et sans craintes
? la recherche de mes lendemains
et je n'aurai ni r?gles ni contraintes
mais je serai ma?tre de mon destin
j'en ai assez de ces gens qui s'inqui?tent
toujours pench?s sur le m?me pass?
pour nous la vie sera notre conqu?te
et notre histoire ne fait que commencer
pour nous la vie sera notre conqu?te
